Struggling with Anxiety and Doctors

That baseline thing is what I say too. But my therapist actually tells me to try and put myself in situations that challenge my anxiety. It doesn't have to be everything at once, just pick one thing at a time and try to focus on getting through that. And if it's too overwhelming, you can take a break and try something else. Sometimes avoiding triggers is all you can do, I stopped watching Crime TV and Medical Dramas after a mental breakdown. But once you're in a more stable place, you can try again. I don't know if this helps, but just know that you're not the only one who feels this way.
